Deploying codeless applications
With BMC Helix Innovation Studio you can manage releasing your own custom built codeless applications and libraries including new version updates at your own pace or according to the release cadence.
To build codeless applications and libraries, start by creating an install or update package. You can then self deploy installation packages and update packages in the BMC Helix Innovation Studio.
BMC Helix Platform does not offer separate environments or server instances, such as development environment, tailoring environment, and production environments.
Using the deployment capability in BMC Helix Innovation Studio allows you to:
- Deploy and upgrade codeless bundles in a few clicks without depending on developers, requiring an IDE, or using an antiquated command line tool to deploy.
Consider the following information for deploying bundles:- In a shared system, you can deploy bundles that belong to your company only.
For example, for Calbro Services, you cannot deploy bundles that belong to ABC Software. - In a dedicated system, you can deploy bundles from your company or any other company as well.
For example, for Calbro Services, you can deploy bundles that belong to ABC Software.
- In a shared system, you can deploy bundles that belong to your company only.
- Move definitions and data for bundles from one environment to the next.
- Deploy and upgrade codeless bundles in any environment you choose.
- Release at a regular cadence of your choice or release immediately at any time when your new bundle or new version is ready.
Administrators and application business analysts can create install packages, update packages, and export packages from the BMC Helix Innovation Studio. Once you provide the package to the Administrator, he or she can then self deploy the new bundle or new version to the next environment of choice. After an application is deployed, only the application business analyst and an administrator can view the application.
Important
The administrator can use the containerrolepermission REST API to provide access to users as well as remove access from specific users for any licensed application. For information about the containerrolepermission REST API, see Platform REST API Documentation.
Workflow of deploying codeless applications
